The Natlandist Oligarch of Monovia, or NOM, is a member of the MCS. It borders Babkha, and neighbors the Lurk Federation. With a total population of 21 million, and an area slightly smaller then Iraq, Monovia attracted its first inhabitants from 7th Century BC Russia. However, most of the current population are descended from later immigrants, from the Caucasus around 750 AD. Monovia is a distributive Economy.

Monovia is Ethnically diverse, the North of the Country is mostly Muslim, especially in the Jamir Islands. Whilst in the South, it is Christian. For many centuries both fractions fought each other, until the unification of the land in 1075, when both Muslims and Christians crowned a Monarch. However, there have been earlier states that controlled the area Monovia is situated in, although they are generally not considered as being a single Monovish state. Today, the Monarchy is still in place, with the Monarch having the title of Oligarch.

Etymology

The word "Monovia", was used by the first early Russian immigrants, with Mono means one, the word Monovia was used to represent the word "Sole Land". During its early history, it was known by most of the Muslim population as Amir. The official demonym is Monovish, although Monovian is also used occasionally.

History

First Settlers

The First settlers are believed to have migrated from 7th Century BC Siberia, these early settlers established small villages in the nations south, especially around the Assek river. This early civilization thrived, and in less then 50 years they had moved north, and into the Jamir Islands. The area surrounding Assek river became a boom-town, and attracted traders from across the land. The locals became famous for there Rugs and Spices, and several of these ancient tribal Kingdom's began to merge.

This resulted in the creation of the first Monovish state, in the 6th Century several states merged, and the "Jalafi ya Monovwiya", (English: the Kingdom of Monovia), was pronounced. Although at that time it was only a fraction of the size of the current Monovish state, it was a important part in Monovish history.

The early Kingdom did not last however, and after a violent disagreement, it fell apart. The Assek Kingdom is generally seen to be the successor to the first Monovish state. This era of tribal fractions lasted for centuries, and it was only in the 2nd Century BC that these fractions began to merge once again. This led to huge Economic prosperity, with the first towns springing up across the Assek river.

Battle of Assek and Onwards

These fractions become uneasy however, they had split there Realms up across the banks of the Assek River. However, there was a small section in the middle of the Assek River, which was the most Resource rich area in the whole of Monovia. As this was in the center however, the rival realms could not decide on who the land belonged to. Soon one Realm, Invaded the land, the Rival realms did not want this fertile land to be lost, so they invaded too. Soon these forces collected, and a huge battle occurred.

The original invader, Yokori, won the battle. They however, did not stop. They continued to push North, capturing Realm after Realm. Yokori soon annexed all the 13 Rival Realms, and although it only made up 50% of Modern Monovia, it was another step for the Monovish state. However as the years went on, the State like all previous Monovish states, began to decay and fall apart.

The Dark Ages

Over the Centuries, remarkably little occurred, the eventual collapse of Yokori, 50 years after the Battle of Assek, is now believed to have occurred after the Rival Realms joined up and defeated the decayed Yokori. It is believed these Realms continued to war with each other. The constant state of war created a series of huge castles and monuments. By the 1st Century BC, a wave of farmers settled in Assek city. Bringing the total population of the City to around 300.

Agriculture continued to thrive, and for the first time land slots where given by Barons. Some of the population however, became tiresome with the large taxes placed by the Barons, and the first Monovish Microstates emerged. Due to a partial power vacuum with the Waring Realms, these states flourished. For small period, Assek City itself became one of these.

Finally, in 150 AD, the Realms (now only 5 remained), signed a peace document and declared there borders, these five realms were:

• Yi Nation (successor of Yokori)
• Earldom of Monsoya
• Cheyna Nation
• Fǒῶόṩ Empire

Over the centuries this peace was held, there was also continued growth in the Textiles industry, and many new forts appearing across the map. These forts would later become small villages, and slowly over time the population spread out into these Settlements, and the population left most of the larger towns, which make dilapidated and derelict.
